Abstract Background CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) play an essential role in sepsis-induced immunosuppression. How, the effects of interleukin 36 (IL-36) cytokines on CD4+CD25+ Tregs and their underlying mechanism(s) in sepsis remain unknown. Methods Our study was designed to investigate the impacts of IL-36 cytokines on murine CD4+CD25+ Tregs in presence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and in a mouse model of sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). IL-36–activated autophagy was evaluated by autophagy markers, autophagosome formation, and autophagic flux. Results IL-36α, IL-36β, and IL-36γ were expressed in murine CD4+CD25+ Tregs. Stimulation of CD4+CD25+ Tregs with LPS markedly up-regulated the expression of these cytokines, particularly IL-36β. IL-36β strongly suppressed CD4+CD25+ Tregs under LPS stimulation and in septic mice challenged with CLP, resulting in the amplification of T-helper 1 response and the proliferation of effector T cells. Mechanistic studies revealed that IL-36β triggered autophagy of CD4+CD25+ Tregs. These effects were significantly attenuated in the presence of the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine or Beclin1 knockdown. In addition, early IL-36β administration reduced the mortality rate in mice subjected to CLP. Depletion of CD4+CD25+ Tregs before the onset of sepsis obviously abrogated IL-36β–mediated protection against sepsis. Conclusions These findings suggest that IL-36β diminishes the immunosuppressive activity of CD4+CD25+ Tregs by activating the autophagic process, thereby contributing to improvement of the host immune response and prognosis in sepsis.
